north, northwest. i kid you not. tonight, george zimmerman. should the court? we'll talk about that. and the best story ever. a 3-year-old came to hear his first word. >> daddy loves you. daddy loves you. >> he's not been able to hear his entire life. >> the new device that made that smile possible. the oldest organization with the x-game movement shutting his doors saying the world view has been neither honoring nor biblical. it's exodus international in chapters across the country.

it's what's called repairtive therapy. they told people they could change their sexual orientation. it began in the mid 1970s. they renounced the organization admitting he wasn't ex-gay but was gay, he said they could help people get over their same-sex attractions. alex chambers is now apologizing to people. >> i'm sorry for the pain and hurt many of you have experienced. i'm sorry that some of these years working through shame and guilt you felt when your attractions didn't change. i'm sorry we had theories about sexual orientation that stigmatized parents. tonight, in a long statement on the exodus international website, he elaborates saying,

i'm sorry some have chosen to end their lives. they chose up shop. we will talk with allen chambers tomorrow on the program. we are going tell you what they have been telling people for decades now. this is from before they shut their doors. men, women, looking for a way to exercise homo sexuality. >> christian ministries offer referrals to treatment programs. more than 120 local branches in north america, exodus international calls themselves. allen chambers says his own change from homo sexuality to

hetero sexuality. >> i didn't flip it on and off. it took years of work. >> when did you realize you were gay? >> at the age of 6, i realized i was different from other boys. later on, i associated with word gay with it. i was 10. >> it wasn't easy for sean o'donnell. his catholic parents were loving. the kids were mercyless. he was born again and joined a church. >> how important was religion in your life at that time? >> extremely important. it was the top of my list. i went to church four and five times a week. i was always in church. >> if you are gay, you believe you are going to hell? >> right. >> it was too much. he started cutting himself and

attempted suicide. at 18, he came out to his pas r pastor. >> did you feel he was angry with you? >> no. no. he was passionate with the understanding i needed help. >> he was referred to therapy. >> i thought i would go a couple days without being attracted to men. then i have a sexual slip up. i thought i was failing again. >> five years into therapy, he hit a low point and tried to kill himself. he moved to california and joined a live-in program for gay men trying to become straight. >> we went to work, after we got home, we had dinner together. we didn't go places alone other than work and back. we were always in groups of two or three. sundays we went to church together. we had curfews. >> he was committed to the program. >> first year, i thought great. i'm going to make it.

you know, this is what i needed. you know? then i had a slip with one of the guys in the house. >> shawn drove to san francisco and had a one-night stand with a man. >> that was it. i was done. i had given it the good old college try. i decided i was going to come out, again. >> i'm curious, do you like girls now? >> i love my wife. i am attracted to my wife. we have been married nine years. >> are feelings toward men in you? do you feel like it could come out again? >> i don't think i will ever be as though i was. i could be tempted by a homo sexual thought. >> it doesn't go away? >> it hasn't gone away 100% like me. >> do you think these programs can help? >> no. >> shawn is working as a high

school science teacher. he's working as an openly gay man. >> lisa ling spoke to allen chambers for the special on the own network. first, it's great to have you on the program. >> thank you. >> did it surprise you he's apologized and they shut their doors? >> it did surprise me when he wanted to apologize to all gay people and people harmed by exodus. it acknowledged thousands of people had their lives damaged by exodus. it begged the question, what now? last year, they stopped therapy. this year, he wants to apologize to people they have harmed. what now? we witnessed what now last night. >> what does it mean? he's not saying being gay -- is he saying being gay is okay? >> so, he won't say it, he

believed that homosexuality -- he tries to cure people. he says it's not possible. he says he has same-sex attraction as does 99.9% of people who have gone to the programs. >> the people i interviewed that say they are gay or ex-gay, they have the attractions. they still have the thoughts. they are just forcing themselves or trying to train themselves not to act on them. they are repressing, trying to not act on it. >> that's how allen is living now. i believe he has a beautiful marriage with his wife and their children, but he continues to have same-sex attraction. >> i have done a lot of these interviews. clearly, i'm gay, but i don't

try to force my opinion on, you know, somebody wants to, you know, thinks they are unhappy being gay and wants to change. if it works for them or doesn't. there are a lot of people in your documentary say they have been harmed by this type of therapy. there's a guy, shawn, he's come out, tried to change, has not. he's talking to allen about how much damage he feels exodus has done. >> all the people. >> when i left exodus, i joined the military. i was just at my end. i didn't realize i was going into such a deep pit of dispair and anger. i look up one day, my friend had gone to work, he had a loaded gun in his closet. i was so happy about dying it felt like i was opening a

christmas present. that's how i felt. i went to the closet and i prayed that prayer i prayed a million times. i said god, why will you not change me? i can't describe it but something from the outside, allen, told me not to take my life. i said god, why won't you change me? it said to me because there's nothing i need to change about you. >> amen. >> the idea of suicidal thoughts and people attempting suicide, it's something you have heard a lot. >> absolutely. so many of the people that i encountered said they had entertained suicidal thoughts because when you are told from a young age that you are a sinner for doing nothing but having same-sex attraction and you go through the programs and you try and you try and you can't change, what is your purpose? what is -- what are you here

for? a lot of the people i encountered said they have thought about suicide. >> allen chambers spoke to, i guess it was last night, to a grouping from exodus international. >> the annual conference is going on right now. exodus is shutting down. >> let's play some of that. >> i believe we have come to a time in church when it's time to lay our weapons down. we fought the culture. we have lost. but i think we have lost for a good reason. it's time for peace. we are the culture. culture doesn't exist without people. god doesn't want us to fight people anymore. >> again, i'm not clear exactly where he goes now, where the organization goes. it's officially shutting its doors. it sounds like he feels they lost a culture war.

>> he says they lost a culture war. when you think about it, gay rights, marriage equality, these issues are the civil rights issues of our generation. the supreme court is going to decide on doe ma and proposition 8 in california. alan and the board of exodus start to think, what side do we want to be on on this civil rights issue. >> he was saying he feels their world view has not been fair to our fellow human beings, to quote him and has not been biblical. it sounds like he wants some sort of organization that is welcoming, whatever that may mean. >> alan, i don't know that they can define what the next chapter is going to be for them. he has mentioned to me that there is a place or there are people who are struggling who may want to remain sell bat or may want to work on their

relationships with their spouses even though they have same-sex attractions. they would like an organization anyone can come to. >> i look forward to speaking with him tomorrow night. thank you very much. alan chambers agreed to come on the program. we hope he'll join us for that. let me know what you think. just had after nine days of questioning, an all female jury was decided to pick george zimmerman's fate. it's not just a battle over this fence, but how a fight may reshape politics for years to come. we'll be right back.

>> in crime and punishment tonight, the jury has been selected in the george zimmerman trial. the make up of the jury caught a lot of people by surprise. five are white and five are black or hispanic and all are women. he told the judge he is fine with the decision. >> were you able hear the six members of the jury and the four alternates? >> yes, ma'am. >> is this jury panel acceptable to you? >> yes, your honor. >> under florida law, all criminal cases are decided by juries of six people, not 12. zimmerman, of course, is charged with second degree murder in the killing of trayvon martin. he says he shot the teen ager in self-defense, prosecutors accuse him of unjustly profiling and killing martin. in a statement, martin's family

said they expect him to do their duty. opening arguments are scheduled on monday. jean casarsz joins me now. what do we know of these women? >> first of all, anderson, five out of six are mother, two have just come into the area from recent months from living out of state. what's interesting, one juror used to have a concealed weapons permit for a gun, a female did. she doesn't have it anymore, she doesn't carry her gun any more. her husband still has a concealed weapon permit. the juror from chicago has been arrested. so a lot of diversity. a lot of life experiences. we were all surprised when it was a total female jury. >> clearly, they selected these people. so the prosecution and defense seem happy with the jury they got, right? >> they did. the way they did was in order of that individual questioning. that's how they went. here is what's very fascinating. there was an african-american

male who should have been on the jury the prosecution exercised a preemtory strike. it could be for whatever reason. the defense did not challenge it. then when the prosecution exercised four preemptory spriex for white female the defense actually exercised a constitutional challenge saying you are trying to discriminate based on gender, white women and do you know the defense got two of those jurors back on the final jury. one had said innocent people go to prison, which favors the defense. another had said her daughter said what's a young kid like that out buying candy at that time of night got her on the jury. remember, it was 7:00 in the evening, not real late. >> a judge will real whether an expert can testify on a crucial piece of evidence. who is screaming on the 911 tape, tell us about it? >> this is probably the most important piece of evidence in this trial. you hear a voice. it has been described as a death cry, somebody believing they're going to die.

prosecutors want to put expert testimony on to say they can't conclusively say, they say based on the science it is trayvon martin. defense put on a really renowned expert saying there is no credibility in these experts and the voice at all. the voice is so far away. the instruments and speck tro graph they are using is outdated. there is no way to tell with any kind of scientific certainty. >> trayvon's mother said she was sure it was her son's voice. jean, we appreciate the update. let's dig deeper with mark geragos and joining me is marcia clark, author of "killer ambition." marcia, you say you can see both sides want a jury made up of entirely women? why is that? >> there is something in it for both sides when women are involved. from the prosecution's side, women, especially mothers and

five of the six are mothers, the hope is they will feel somewhat invested in trayvon martin, as someone who could have been their son out there that night. by conversely, from the defense point of view, they like the idea of women, especially bill who have had guns in their lives, in their family. they are more likely to identify with the fear in a neighborhood that has been burglarized and feel like george zimmerman is kind of a protector of there's. so appreciate what he was to trying to do. so women actually have something to give for both sides of this lawsuit at the end of the day, i am not surprised to see it was an all female jury. >> what do you think? i heard people say most of these five out of six are mom, they might be more sympathetic to trayvon martin. >> right. and if they say that, they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. this could not be a better defense jury if you had dreamed of it. the fact that they did, you know, when jean did that package about the constitutional challenge, that's called a wheeler motion. we call it a wheeler motion.

it's a motion. basically, they got put back on, two jurors that are prosecution's worst nightmare. remember, the prosecution has to get a unanimous verdict in this case, or a unanimous jury. the defense only has to have one holdout. at this point i think the prosecution would be holding on for dear life to try and get one person to vote for them. i think that more importantly than the gender here, is the race coffer composition. i think this is a grand slam home run for the defense. >> mark, you also say that jury selection is the most important part of a trial. do you really believe that? >> absolutely. i tried hundreds of cases and i can tell you, based on all of those cases, the cases were won or lost 99.9% of the time in jury selection. that's why this case, other than mark omar ra falling and

tripping, knocking himself out, this is his to lose at this point. >> i brought up the makeup of the jury, does it play one way or the other? does that matter? >> yeah, of course, it always matter, especially in a case like this where race is squarely on the table. in this case the prosecution's theory is george zimmerman racially profiled trayvon martin and reacted to him and behaved the way he did because he was african-american. so having a white set of jurors, more likely to identify the theory that they're more likely to identify with george zimmerman. that is true. mark is right about. that the race factor alone does play in his favor. i disagree a little bit with mark about the mother issue. i think it can play in the prosecution's favor, but what worries me the most is the kentucky challenge, that's what mark was referring to, what a prosecutor or defense attorney has excused someone, a number of jurors on a given race and the other side can say, hey, that wasn't fair. it was a race-based excusal.

they can put the jurors back on. that sends a message to the jury that can be very damaging to the prosecution. not only do those juror know and somehow it was improper to excuse them. the rest of the jury knows, too. so the prosecution starts out with this kind of taint of having done something proper. the jury knows it. >> that's exactly what's going to happen. >> how long do you see this trial going on for? >> i don't know. i mean, i don't think this is a case where you want it to go on longer or drag it out indefinitely. i think if you are in the defense camp on the case, you want to get this over as quickly as possible. i think it's to the prosecution's advantage to drag it out. ideally, so that they can get into some of these alternates that are there. i tell you, i cannot emphasize enough placing two of the jurors who the prosecution who had excused back into that jury box,

it's crossed all their minds, in a case here that is so rationally charged, i can't even imagine what is going through the prosecutor's minds at this point. >> mark geragos, marsha clark, good to have you on. go to cnn.com, there is a lot more there. next the fight over immigration reform, how it may reshape the republican parties. some insight ahead. has an active naturals oat formula that creates a moisture reserve so skin can replenish itself. aveeno® naturally beautiful results.

>> more politics now, not only it affects a lot of people and

can reshape america's border with mexico, on top of all thats a battle in many ways for the future of the republican party. we are talking about immigration reform. today in the senate, two republicans called for an amendment for 20,000 border agents and completing a 700 mile fence. to beef up a larger reform bill. republicans in the house will support it. that, however, is a big if. dana bash is here to explain why. it always seems to come back to border security every time, especially for republicans. does it look like this bill. at least as it now stands is tough on border security to get more republican support? >> it's certainly tougher. it looks like it could. it's not a question of whether or not immigration reform will pass, it's a question of whether it will pass by a lot of votes. talking to republican sources, they think this beefing up the border security will bring maybe 10 to 12 republican senators who wouldn't have come near it

beforehand. the reason why this matters is because supporters say they need maybe up to 70 votes in the senate to give this issue momentum heading into the republican-led house. there is a different ball game. it seems as though positioning is hardening against immigration reform. >> how much of this bill is about politics? >> how much do you have? look. it is, of course, everything is about politics, this, in particular, so fascinating. it was dead for five years because this was kind of a third round particularly for republicans. what happened was the 2012 election. mitt romney got 27% of the hispanic vote, plummeted since the last republican president george w. bush who got 44% for his re-election and republican leaders looked at the future of the republican party and said, we don't really have one if we continue down the road, because the hispanic vote is getting bigger and bigger. that's why they said we got to

deal with immigration reform, get it off the table. the problem is not everybody in the party agrees. a lot of people on the base say it's amnesty no matter how you cut it. i talked to one of the leaders on this, marco rubio. listen to this. >> i can tell you it's as much a negative as a positive. people are really upset. i respect it. i understand it. by the other token, though, this is hurting america. this should be helping the united states. if nothing passes, this disaster we have now, that's what will stay in place. >> a negative as much as a positive. is it a risk for you politically? >> there are people i agree with on every other issue who are mad at us having gotten involved in this issue. they're distrusting the government will do its part. >> a big part of the issue for the republicans is that those who are from more diverse states, those in higher ambition like marco rubio, they are more interested in getting immigration done because they are worried about being beaten by democrats who are going to get more hispanic voters.

then you have the house, it's very polarized. you have people from red, red districts. their concern isn't democrats. their concern is getting challenges from the conservatives. i got to tell you, john boehner, the house speaker today, compared immigration reform to obamacare which is a kind of a four-letter word for republicans. that kind of says it all. >> all right, dana, thanks. up next, controversy over a decision sentenced a murderer to death because he may have been sent to death row because he's african-american. an incredible moment, a 3-year-old boy born deaf hears for the first time in his life from his dad. such a great moment caught on tape. we will talk to dr. sanjay gupta, the medical break through that made it all possible. for ym to work? neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair has the fastest retinol formula. to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles in just one week. neutrogena®. bulldog: ahh, the dog days of summer...

>> welcome back, a texas man has been sentenced to die. he's asked an appeals court to grant him a new sentencing hearing. his appeal supported by organization, including a former texas governor and one of the prosecutors two helped convict him. not because there are any doubts that he committed murder, instead, supporters argue buck is on death row because he is african-american. they pointed to testimony from an expert witness. we have the report. >> reporter: there is no question dwayne buck is guilty

of murder. in 1995, he shot and killed two people, including his former girlfriend and wounded his step sister in this houston house. the controversy started after a jury convicted him. that's because during the sentencing phase, former texas prison psychologist walter kehano was asked this question by a prosecutor. quote, you have determined that the race factor, black, increases the future dangerousness for various complicated reason, is that correct? he responded, "yes." and later asking the jury to sentence buck to death rather than life in prison, the prosecutor told the jury, quote, you heard from dr. quijano that there was a probability that the man would commit future acts of violence. >> it's so clear the testimony shouldn't have been put before the jury. >> reporter: linda was an attorney working the case, not just any attorney, she was one of the prosecutors. she is now pushing to get dwayne buck a new sentencing hearing.

>> the idea that he would be walked to the execution chamber without this simple hearing boggles the mind. it just doesn't make good sense. >> reporter: walter quijano became a lightning rod figure six years ago when the death sentences were overturned because of his controversial testimony that race is one of the 20 factors that can determine if someone is likely to be a future danger to society. all of them were given new sentencing hearings. all were sent back to death row. dwayne buck was denied a new sentencing hearing but is appealing that decision from jail, but buck remembers what it was like to hear her testimony. >> he's basically saying because you are black, you need to die. and i felt that was strange because my lawyer didn't say nothing, and nobody else, you know, the prosecutor or the judge, nobody did. it was like it was an every day

thing in the courts. >> reporter: other member of the prosecution team says buck doesn't deserve a new sentencing hearing because quijano's testimony has little impact on the jury. wilson noted he was called as an expert witness for the defense and testified the convicted killer should be spared the death penalty. >> was it right? should you ever leak race to why a judgment is reached? no. in buck's case, that's not what happened. in the cases where it did happen, it was reversed. >> reporter: after days of calling walter quijano, we tracked him down at his clinic. hi, i'm with cnn. we have been trying to get ahold of you to talk about your testimony in several death penalty cases. >> sure. >> he invited us in. he said to clear the misconceptions over his testimony. he says over the years, he's received death threats. >> the allegations that, allegations that you are a

racist, allegations that are you you are a racist and your testimony is racist, what do you say to that? >> well, it's not true, but, okay, i have never been that type of person who will argue for me. >> reporter: he says his testimony has been misunderstood. he argues that some 20 social factors can be used to determine if someone is likely to repeat violent behavior, things like age, sex, socioeconomic background. education, drug use, yes, race. >> they pick that one piece of testimony and twists it and makes it look like race causes people to make crimes, which is stupid. now, no human being would say such thing. >> reporter: in some of the testimony that i've read, you say race is a factor to whether or not someone will be a future danger. so it comes off as you are saying if someone is black, they're more likely to be dangerous in the future.

>> people with guns are more likely to be violent than no guns. it doesn't mean all gun owners are violent. they are simplistically taking this and twisting it. i will show you a quote from a classic textbook in the violence. it says, if you do not factor in race, you are not discussing the problem seriously. >> reporter: it's unfair that if are you are a black defendant and you are compared to what a bunch of other black people are doing, ultimately, it's not fair, is it? >> it's not fair. but those artists did studies. when you say he is likely to commit another crime because he is male, nobody objects to that. it's just the same as a comparison.

>> reporter: dwayne buck has one last chance to fight his death penalty sentence. a texas appeals court will decide any day the summer if he gets another shot in the courtroom. >> the next time we are going to hear anything from the court of appeals is next wednesday. we don't know if there will be a decision in the case. we want to talk to bruce watkins, he jones us from skype and our senior legal analyst, jeff, let me start with you. is there any doubt considering race like this is a violation of this guy's constitutional rights? >> no doubt. this is textbook. when i started looking into this, i had to look at this several times. you think, he didn't say that. but he really did say that. >> he continues to say that. >> and john cornyn who is now a senator from texas. he used to be the attorney general, he said that buck and the five others deserved new hearings and the five others got the new hearings, as ed's story said. they were all sentenced to death again. but for some reason they won't give buck a new hearing.

it's just completely outrageous. >> you say this is indicative of a deeper infection that plagues the court system in this country. >> absolutely. before we talk about what dr. quijano said, which i don't agree with. we have to realize he's slapping the justice system in the face with well documented racial disparity that is exist all across the country. when i started working on a massive incarceration program with russell simmon, one of the things we brought to light is according to sentencing project, african-american males get sentences 20% longer than white males when they commit the same crimes. even though the professor was naive enough to explicitly mention race as a factor in sentencing, the reality is that we have been impolice italy using race as a factor for a

very long time. >> jeff, what they're saying in not granting a new hearing is that this guy was a defense witness and that makes some sort of a difference? >> not. the jury hear what is the jury hears regardless of who is putting forth the witness. the other factor here is texas has an unusual death penalty law in that the issue of future dangerousness is important. unfortunately, that law leads to all sorts of quackery. the idea -- the legal system has a hard enough time telling people, determining what happened in the past. the idea that you can put a psychologist on and predict future dangerousness is just absurd. >> it's like that movie about future crime, you are fighting future crime. >> exactly. and quijano is not the only psychologist who has gotten in trouble here. there's a famous dr. death who testified all the time and gave similarly ridiculous testimony. but the whole idea of psychologists telling juries they can predict who is dangerous is fraudulent in and of itself. >> the minority report.

>> the minority report f. this case isn't reheard, what kind of a message do you think that sends african-americans in texas and the rest of the country? >> well, i think when you look at the justice system across the country, especially in texas, we have to realize that prisons have become the new slave plantations. when you look at the racial tis parities, particularly with the war on drug, we know that african-american, particularly black men are an endangered species because of the prison industrial complex. families have been destroyed. i do cases every single day. i read about an entire family sent to prison for drug distribution. so all the children grew up without parents. so what we have to understand is our desire to hold up the law over simply doing the right thing is really destroying the fabric of our country. we're really setting our children up for a dismal future when we decide that incarcerating people is more important than actually making

our country safer and better in the long run. >> so, jeff, i mean, he could get, if he got a new sentencing hearing, that still he could be sentenced to death. >> that's exactly what happened with the other five. >> right. so nobody is arguing he should go home. >> go home. >> right. it's a question of he should be sentenced without race in mind? >> no, it just so happens, as i understand it, buck has been an absolutely model prisoner. he has ministered to other inmates on death row. there does seem to be a chance that a jury informed of that would take that into consideration and maybe not sentence him to death, but there is no chance that a jury could say he's not guilty, he can go home. would not be on the table in this hearing. >> bruce watkins, it's good to have you on, jeff as well. ahead, a 3-year-old boy born totally deaf is making medical history. i will show you this technology, it will put a smile on your face to see this little boy 3-years-old hearing for the first time, hearing his dad's voice for the very first time. i'll show you the video ahead. d.

[ female announcer ] the gold standard in anti-aging. roc® retinol. found in roc® retinol correxion deep wrinkle night cream. it's clinically proven to give 10 years back to the look of skin. now for maximum results, the power of roc® retinol is intensified with a serum to create retinol correxion® max. it's proven to be 4x better at smoothing lines and deep wrinkles than professional treatments. roc® retinol correxion max. nothing's better than gold.

>> most of us don't remember when we heard the first sound. none of us do.

it's impossible. it happened while we were still in the woman. 3-year-old boy grayson clamp's first sound was captured on video. take a look. >> daddy loves you. daddy loves you. daddy -- >> yes. he hears. >> can you hear daddy? >> it's an incredible moment, obviously, for grayson and his family. he was born without the nerves to process sound. he is the first child to get what is called an auditory brain stem implant. a device studied in clinical trial. he had the surgery if april in north carolina. joining us is our chief medical correspondent sanjay gupta. it's remarkable to see his face light up like that. how does this implant work. >> i can't stop watching this video. it's amazing. let me show you the way this works. again, it is remarkable. z we're looking at a true medical first here. as you pointed out, anderson, the nerve that goes from his ear to his brain stem, that's what

he doesn't have. that's a specific hearing loss. what they're trying to do is recreate part of his nervous system. let me show you on the brain model. this is the right side of the brain. this, you see the microphone that's sort of sitting around his ear. that takes sound, sort of processes it, distills it to various frequency, anderson, literally, there is a wire that goes straight to his brain stem the coakley nuclei. it takes that sound and shuttles it through the brian, allowing him to have that reaction there. one of total surprise, what is that as he heard his dad's voice for the first time. >> this is different than the cochlear implant. >> it is, you have something defective in your inner ear. but the nerve that goes from your inner ear for the your brain the brain stem, that's working. so you don't need to replace that. in a very small percentage of people, including grayson, they don't have the nerve at all.

it's a much more difficult problem in some ways to tackle. but the way they tackled it was to essentially create a part of his nervous system. it's an unbelievably remarkable thing. >> watching the whole video. he seemed confused or thrown by it. i can't imagine to live that many years of your life without hearing any sound and then all of a sudden hearing sound, do the doctors know how much he can hear and exactly what he hears? >> it's a great question. and it's difficult to know. we ask him him the same thing. they say they know he is sound aware. he is clearly hearing sounds. how much he can actually process of that sound and you know recognize of his language, that's harder to tell. one anecdote they share with me is he seems to love music. when he hears music, he will go over and turn the music even louder. he seems to enjoy that. he's 3-years-old. we talk about this idea your brain is pretty plastic at that age.

so he is probably going to grow and learn very rapidly what to make of these sounds and transmit them no something useful for him. >> will he be able to speak at some point in. >> that's what they say. again, we asked the same thing. they believe he will be able to hear the language, understand it and be able to express himself through spoken language as well. the doctors seem pretty convinced of this i should point out, this is the first time it has been done on a kid in this country. it has been done on adults before. again, kids' brains are still developing. it's unclear when it will be able adapt to specifically. the doctors seem very, very optimistic he is going to be able do that. >> so this is a testing, it will be available to anybody with his condition? >> yeah. right now, it's very much in testing phase. he's the first child in america to have this done. it's been approved for ten children, five of whom don't have that nerve at all the nerve going from the ear to the brain. five who had the nerve, but the nerve was traumatized in some way, damaged. so it's not useful.
